I actually thought the Snakepit CD was pretty good , not perfect , but I know that some of the tracks were taken from actual motown backing tracks [ though obviously not mastered to the high standard that Motown could have done ] .If ,instead of just releasing these amazing backing tracks to the Karaoke scene, Motown could have created a stunning Funk Brothers CD , and there wouldn't be any need for a Snakepit CD.But no , years later we are still waiting ,and I doubt whether it'll ever happen now ? Best ,Eddie

Just wonderful collections , I've got 3 so far , from Fopp at around £55 , just essential purchases in my book , the packaging , research , photos etc are second to none . Best ,Eddie

There's a great version on Capitol album by Barbara Acklin as well ,Best ,Eddie

Yes it was a Detroit recording but leased out to this New York label .Best ,Eddie

Thanks a million guys , some great info , didn't know the " Carlena " story - love it !! Very best ,Eddie

Does anyone know where Garrison records [ Honey bees , Just Brothers etc ] was based ? Need the info to complete an article .Many thanks for any help ,Best ,Eddie

Got yours today Mark , thanks , it looks great !! Best ,Eddie

This sounds like the soussan version as the car horns are different and the crowd noises from the 1965 cup final aren't in the background [ you can clearly hear the crowd singing " wednesday , wednesday " on the Pye released version .Interesting item ..... Best ,Eddie

Thanks for your CD Andy , and everyone else who's sent them so far , think I'll have to throw a sickie to listen to them all !! Cheers ,Eddie

Mine went out yesterday , you should get them by wednesday , ok ? Kept mine to under £20 , though most of them were much less .Got Colin Dilnot's today looks very tasty , haven't got Steve P's yet though .Best Wishes ,Eddie

The Dramatics " Fell for you " is a great Tony Hestor song [ 4099 ] , as is " And I panicked " [ 4105 ] , plus Hot Sauce " What do you see in her " is another excellent ballad [ 4089 ]. Best ,Eddie

Just burning mine now , have included a couple of album tracks , 100% sure they weren't included before.Best ,Eddie

Just got yours Bully - looks great !! Cheers ,Eddie

[. I was thinking, Alan Pollard who was in the last swap has`nt been too well lately, maybe we should all send Alan a copy of our Cds...maybe cheer him up a bit...what do you think? Cheers, Chris

Congratulations to yourself and Malayka , Dave you must be very proud !! One of my mates tied the knot to Joe " All that I am " which is a great ballad of course . Very best Wishes ,Eddie

Thanks for everyone's help ,it's probably my all time favourite Soul song ,James Carr is the version for me , but love Roy Hamilton's as well and Joe Tex's [ Making love ] At the dark end of the street on Atlantic , which is the first version I heard back in 1972 ,Best ,Eddie

Just watched the new film " This is England " [which I found uncomfortable viewing for the most part ] .There was a superb take of James Carr " Dark end of the street " anybody know who it's by ? Cheers ,Eddie

ps, Sean, I`ll miss Eddie too but he aint in yet...maybe you want to give him a nudge

Brilliant record , it's actually The Impressions from their " We're a winner " album , not sure if it came out as a ' 45 .Hope this helps ,Eddie

I've PM'd you Rob ,best ,Eddie
